Ok yes, you have my attention
that user interface is setting off every alarm bell that i have… but otherwise idk could be neat maybe? big robots punching each other soooo slowww rules. not clear exactly what it is based on trailer + blurb alone.
My guess is a kind of linear Last Guardian stealth + puzzle thing, like the adventure parts of Uncharted. Frequent combat doubtful, maybe some very limited use “kill robot instantly” items to assist in stealthing
We’ll see how close I am when it comes out
i feel like this’ll disappoint but thats a subnautica/dont starve/long dark/etc. etc. for sure…the steam description is pretty clear “mystery survival rpg” , “Scavenge, craft, progress”
Yeeeeeah but those are just popular buzzwords. If a small dev made Last of Us in 2025 and released only on Steam they’d say you “scavenge, craft, progress”
Subnautica is good and most of those other ones suck, so even if it does turn out to be this kind of thing, fingers crossed they draw inspiration from the few bright spots
i have reallly fond memories of encountering that genre the first time as a warcraft 3 custom game/map so, i agree that it isnt a sign that it’ll be inherently bad.
But i think the steam description lays out clearly enough the general game loop theyre aiming for: day/night cycle, progression trees that dole our narrative bits, eventually unlock ‘robots’ to automate resource gathering, etc. The only bit that reads as vague to me is the language around co-op.
As someone who plays a lot of These Kinds Of Games, yeah, that is not what an inventory like this is supposed to look like.
Those look like the icons you get from a royalty free game development asset pack on humble bundle. There are 3 different art designs split between that quick select bar. I can not be convinced that you have the budget for the kind of emotive animation needed for a Ico-like when you can’t even decide on what a water bottle in your survival game looks like.
Everyone made fun of El Shaddai for having to beat the game to unlock the HUD but they had the right idea.
that game p. a. m. e. l. a. I posted about has hud elements you need to unlock and upgrade yourself
It’s Ryukishi07!
I do think it’d be a good joke if the dialogue in the Silent Hill f trailer was the only dialogue in the entire game.
speaking of a lot of dialogue


South of Midnight looks neat.
Mecha Break continues to-IMO-look mediocre at best.
No opinion/interest on anything else in the showcase.
you know what, that looks fun to me
